    Ummm... yeah...

    Another 2 minute episode stretched into 20.

    Don't watch unless you don't mind wasting life.

    No, you shouldn't skip this ep. You will miss Naruto farting.

    Just watch them since they're (kinda) mixing filler with actual storyline

    Downloading, on the off chance he's in Gamatatsu's mouth at the time.

    I am gonna have to download this for completeness's sake....

    Hah, completeness. Due to the original filler hell pre-shippuden I deleted all my Naruto archives for two reasons. One: I am now somewhat ashamed to be known to watch the series due to the shit it turned into, and two: it's been drawn out and milked so hard for screen time it's just not worth the megabytes anymore. (With the exception of a couple of episodes of win during the Asuma/Shikamaru arc).

    Luckily the Manga is still good, and the only reason I watch the anime is to see it animated, even though it gets slightly censored and padded out along the way.

    </rant>

    Anyone want to do a recap of what actual storyline they've included in this episode for those who chose not to watch it?
    Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P

    Eh, I don't know that I can agree with that. Mind you, it wasn't what I would consider a good episode, and the conversation while moving animation and extended explinations certainly came across as trying to stretch things out, but there were no pointless staring contests for flash backs and a fair number of things actually happened.

    Uberbaka: a quick summary for you: The got Hinata's crystal away from Guren, then broke off the attack, accidentally cracked the crystal, Pakun arrived to fill them in on what was learned about the crystal technique, the early crack then caused Hinata's crystal to shatter. Hinata survived as she pushed out charkra when the crystal trapped her, which helped shield her. Pakun and the toads left, the group split in two, with Sai and Sakura staying with Hinata while she recovered and the others going after Guren. They intentionally revealed their location to the bats so they could then follow the bats back to the bad guys. Kabuto joined up with Guren, they reached the lake, gave the kiddo more medicine, which summonded what is revealed to be the three tails.

    Ok I admit it wasn't bulletriddled with staring contests or multiple episode clone wars, but it did feel very stretched out.

    Important scenes are pretty much like he said, with a few things that I safely assume most viewers can think of by themselves... like the bat thing, that was pretty obvious to me from the start.
    1) Naruto and other team members escape Guren and steal Hinata back via putting her in Gamatatsu's mouth.
    2) Hinata's crystal is accidentally cracked and shattered, but *SPOILER* she survives because she shielded herself with chakra.
    3) Naruto farts on Kiba and Akamaru (I count this a definite indicator of a bad episode when this is a highlight.)
    4) Kabuto arrives and drags Guren, Yukimaru, and the one huge guy out on the lake.
    5) Kabuto reveals as Yukimaru is emitting chakra that they are aiming for the three tails (I'm pretty sure that was it, let me know if I got the tails wrong)
    6) The after-episode scenes include Shino revealing he can change his weight by his insects, and that he can trick Sakura into thinking he has cancer on a scanning device via his bugs as well.

    Side note: Bleach's post-ep scenes destroy Naruto's by a mile, even in filler IMHO.

    Hah, I'm glad you guys mentioned the epilogue scene because I forgot to watch it and it was worth seeing.


    I didn't think the episode was that bad. In fact, everything before the OP was actually good.

    Plus, what can I say, I'm looking forward to the 3-tails.

    Yeah, I didn't consider it a bad episode as such, but I'm goddam tired of the idiocy underlining Naruto goes through continuously. Just compare Naruto to Black Star of Soul Eater. Both are somewhat foolish yet want to become stronger than anybody else. But there aren't names for big enough numbers to tell how many times more cooler Black Star is.

    aw crap, with the 3 tails just now introduced, i guess the 100th episode will be wasted on filler after all :\

    mm.. i don't know why Naruto's farting caught me so off guard, and seemed so out of place. it's been done before so i probably shouldn't have been as surprised as i was.. but still, i feel like that scene managed to ruin any kind of coolness or seriousness that this filler arc had built in my eyes.

    whoa, gurens crystal thing is so over-powered O_o. the ability to instantly turn anything she wants into crystals and control them. it makes me wonder what kind of chakra it takes up, and how much chakra capacity she has...

    Capacity? She created a dome of a kilometer or two, a bunch of clones, other tricks, and with little rest in between now those huge pillars. I think it's pretty safe to say she has infinite chakra capacity. One has to wonder why she keeps licking Oro's boots and hasn't joined Akatsuki already.

    If she wanted to, she could crystalize Oro and take him back home. Then, everyday shey'd drape herself over him, caressing her fingers delicately over Oro's preserved, unmoving features...softly whispering.."You are forever mine."


    Just say'n, you know.

    That move turned out horrible because they were teasing Naruto's ninja rank.

    "Hey, we've got a dumbass Genin here who doesn't understand a thing!"
    "What? I'm not weak. I can fart."

    Makes him real tough.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
